Cheaper version of Advan RGII?

Hi guys, I'm a fit newbie. I was interested with Advan RGII (white) for my fit, but I find them too expensive. Do any of you know any substitute? Like a cheaper version but looks almost the same? Here's the link btw for them shoes.

Yokohama Advan Racing RGII wheels from Upgrade Motoring

Wow, that is quite expensive

Rota Boost is the copy/knockoff/replica and looks nothing close as far as quality is concerned, but if you don't mind that, there you go.

Similar to this most of the replicas are overseas that I have seen. Good luck in your search and welcome to the forum. Oops sorry not RG2s Replicas D.

Just get the rota copies and call it a day.

No set of rims is worth over $1400 for a set of rims only if it is a daily street driver.


a vehicle focused on the track definitely deserves the good stuff though!!

NOTE: YOU believe that.

You would be wrong, but you are allowed to believe that.

I'd just take a look around. Rota is a good choice, if your budget allows, take a look at Tire Rack and see what they have.

I would go with Rotas or Drag they both make reps of just about everything.It kills me how some people act like spending thousands of dollars on wheels is a big deal.It's a Fit for Christ sakes lol

I've seen Volks,Advan etc damaged like all the rest from both track and street duty so don't get caught up in the hype.

Sure a nice forged wheel is light but there are options like Konig,Rota that are pretty light weight as well.There is also the issue of theft and that whole deal with the baller azz wheels that cost a grip.

Look at the loss you will take when trying to sell those real wheels.Forget about what others think and get what fits your budget.

Its a Fit, may as well make it suck, right?

Theft? Other people don't give a f***, so why should I?

Look at the loss? I've owned 9 sets of real wheels, and never once lost a cent buying/selling them.

ITT: Talkers v. Doers.

The only way you never lost anything on real wheels is if they were sold new and never mounted.People do not pay new prices for these wheels.

They will just keep low balling you until they get the price they want to pay.
just look at the FS thread with those nice SA70 wheels.This is what usually happens and I doubt you are any different.

You are way off base as usual and no one said the Fit is a bad car.
back on topic OP just get the reps

hahahha someone is getting butthurt cuz I (we) want to save a bit of money?

Face it, I dont have to spend over a grand on rims alone to make my car look nice.

I dont intend to have such a badass suspension and grippy tires to even come close to risking a rim 'detonation'

a cheap ass set of konigs can make my car look nice. Why go any further then what I find in my budget?

If I cared about looks, I would not have gotten the Fit. I would have gotten a flashier car off the bat that did not need any money into it

I think it's more of a maturity thing.I'm darn near 50, 49 to be exact and I had BBS,Weds etc 25 years ago and it was no big deal.

young people today trip on things like having real vs. reps and let it define them.
I love all the real wheels and the only reason I would get them for my Fit is the range of offsets they offer.

I'm still debating if I will even upgrade my wheels at all and if I do it will be something light like RPF1 or reps that are less then the stock rims.

All sold used.

I price my stuff fairly enough to not get low balled.

Just because Fit owners cheap out on everything doesn't mean other 4x100 car owners suck too
